Good. Piracy is illegal and immoral.
Sorry can't hear you too busy downloading communism
oh no, billionaire profits. anyway,,
Me playing a small violin very emotionally at the thought that a media mogul won't be able to afford his 750th super yacht because of piracy 😢

Copyright infringement is absolutely the moral thing to do in quite a lot of cases. For example, for the preservation of cultural works. Corporations aren't exactly spending their money on proper archives and the people to curate them. Quite the opposite! For example, if some or all of the lawsuits against sites like archive.org are successful then the result could be a mass erasure of cultural works on the scale of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
But archiving has nothing to do with copyright.
This is such an insane thing to say, I feel like you can't possibly understand what those words mean.
Yes it absolutely does.
No.
I wish the courts feel the same way
It's like stealing a car.
But I want to make sleazy companies suffer...
Become a film director or major video game developer and have your content ruthlessly stolen then.
when the capitalists expropriate the profits over creative works: cool, good
when some random person downloads it: how dare you
I can't, can't afford to go to college or watch films or read plays to become a better director, programmer, writer. Maybe I'm unemployed too :( fuck me, right?
Then write them and don't steal. And everybody is financially suffering so don't use that excuse.
Haha, I feel solace in knowing that we suffer together, pull yourself up by your flipflop straps, right?
